The question is, is reviewing patches a good place to contribute? Also, if I (and others) could have a "core mentor" with commit access, that might streamline things. As it is, I am worried that patch reviews will pass through the ether without leaving a visible trace; that's OK and understandable, but it's demotivating.

(I've had a very good experience with Georg and documentation commits for GHOP.)
